Deal Package Management Systems And Methods Of Use

摘要

A deal creation system and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, the deal creation system can provide deal and package configuration, management, and promotion features such that deal creators and package creators can configure a deal package containing multiple deals from different vendors. In some embodiments, the deal creation system allows a deal creator to designate a deal as a standalone deal to be presented to consumers individually with the retail value and discount amount visible to the consumer or as a deal that can be included in a deal package when presented to consumers. In some applications, the deal promotion system can maintain the remaining deal count for a given deal across multiple deal packages provided by the same or different entities. Some instances of the deal promotion system can manage conflicting blackout dates and deal restrictions for different deals from different vendors packaged in a single deal package.
